Are You Living or Existing?

Have you ever asked yourself the question, am I living or am I existing? This question came about during a leadership workshop that I attended just last weekend....and it made me think. Am I living or am I existing?

Each day that we wake up, we are programmed to do the same routine without even thinking. Wake up, go to the restroom, brush our teeth, take a shower and head off to work. Some things at work maybe a little different, but for the most part its usually the same. If nothing never changes in your day, week, month or years, then you're living the life of existence and not living a life of fullfillment!

Have you ever taken the time to watch kids as they play? If you notice, children live life to the fullest without a care in the world. They are full of energy, laughs, fun and play. They are motivated by being able to do new things each day as they grow and inquisitive as to how things operate. Living to them is beautiful, rich, rewarding, everlasting, motivating, and FREE! Living is not something that stops as we get older but rather begins as we become more wiser.

Existing, on the other hand is the complete opposite of living and is just as DEAD as it sounds. We were NOT put on this earth to exist! We were put here because we have a purpose that we must fullfill. Do more, give more, help more, save more, love more....whatever your purpose is DO IT TODAY!!! and then afterwards ask yourself am I Living or Existing!

Family...The Love of My LIFE!

I couldn't imagine life without family. And for those, who don't value family, you sure don't know what you're missing out on! My family has always been very close to one another. Always lending a helping hand to people within the family and outside of the family. Our doors are forever swinging open taking in people who don't have family and just want to be around a loving family or for those who just want simple words of encouragement. Without the help and support of my family, I often wonder, where would I be today?

My husband is always supportive and my mom is a TROJAN!!! My brothers who sometimes get on my nerves are irreplaceable, without them I probably wouldn't smile as often as I do when I'm around them. They are both funny, different and comical. Lastly, my two kids are the world to me and they give me strength each day. Different? Yes, they definitely are and SMART? I'm sorry did I say SMART? Yes, SMART? They are too smart. I'm sometimes amazed at the questions that they ask me from day to day! And with this all said, I wouldn't trade any of them for NOTHING in the world.
